I might be way off base here. Jussi trying to jam with what little I know and have observed from the other resources. I came up with a pretty good sounding intro/riff/chord run. I mean for me, anyways. Not trying to be or sound like a virtuoso. Has anyone here ever had the thought of, "Hey, that actually sounds decent, maybe better than decent."?

All the time

Your chords, and riffs will become more sophisticated, and the 'one' you think sounds good now will get replaced by something better/different.

I like it when I come up with something that I've never heard anyone else do. I was playing some blues and was getting ready to go to the 4 chord and instead of playing a 7 just before the change, I played a diminished run based on the root chord. Now I do it a lot because it'll make other guitarists get whiplash when they hear me do it. Not that its great, its just that nobody does it and its so damned unexpected.

Your first sentence resonates. With me. If it comes from mostly self taught ideas
I think this happens naturally. something slightly different. I am into that
